Critical new equipment has been purchased for Prince Rupert Regional Hospital through our support for the Rampage Fights Cancer initiative.

Matching community donations to the 2024-2025 campaign, the Prince Rupert Port Authority`s Community Investment Fund provided over $241,000 to acquire equipment that is crucial to diagnose, treat, and manage conditions connected to the urinary system and male reproductive organs. This includes cancer and non-cancer related procedures.

This major investment enhances access to specialized services for local patients and reduces the stress and burden of travelling outside northwest BC for urological care.
